How do you import media directly from a camera?

The method for importing media directly from a camera involves using the Import from Camera option found in the File menu. This approach is specifically designed for capturing footage directly from supported cameras or devices connected to the computer. It ensures that the media is imported correctly, while also offering settings that can be adjusted for the capture process, including options for transcoding and destination settings.

Utilizing this feature provides a streamlined workflow within Final Cut Pro, where users can directly access their camera’s footage, rather than having to first transfer files to a hard drive or pull them from other sources like an external disk. This is crucial for maintaining organization and managing media effectively as it allows you to capture only the clips you need for your project at the moment.

Other options present different methods of media management but do not specifically address direct camera imports, making this option the most appropriate choice for the given question.
